Instructions

Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is good for 3-4 days in the fridge (40°F or below) or up to 4 months in the freezer (0°F). Always store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
- If your chicken is nearing the 4-day mark, this salad is a great way to use it up safely.
- For extra flavor, add crumbled feta cheese or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts.
